Appropriate nutrition is an important part of treating many conditions including gastric ulcers, laminitis, equine metabolic syndrome, recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (‘tying up’), and dental disease. However, choosing the right diet can be a minefield – there is an abundance of equine feeds and supplements on the market, and unfortunately a food’s nutritional analysis doesn’t always match the claims made on the front of the bag or bucket! We offer nutritional consultations to create evidence-based diet plans that will complement your horse’s medical treatment or help your horse meet a particular goal such as weight loss, weight gain, optimising performance and recovery, or maintaining condition on a geriatric horse or pony. We can also incorporate a nutritional consultation into your horse’s routine wellness examination. We offer hay analysis to facilitate routine diet evaluations, as well as detect specific deficiencies, toxins, or nutritional imbalances.
